embrace trials

In trials deep, where fears may creep,
Christ’s path, a call—not to retreat.
Though Peter once, in fear, did sway,
The cross before, Christ chose to stay.

“Suffer with me,” the Saviour pled,
Through thorns and tears, His followers led.
For in our pain, His presence near,
Transforms our loss to hope so clear.

Embrace the trials, as gold refined,
In suffering’s fire, His joy we’ll find.
For with His glory, soon to shine,
Our hearts rejoice, forever thine.
